About Us

Home boarding and day care · Welwyn

A home from home for your dog

Your dog becomes part of our family while you’re away: curling up on the sofa, playing in our secure garden and joining us on woodland walks.

Our two resident spaniels, Rosie and Tilly, are always excited to make new friends and welcome new dogs into our home.

What owners say

Rating: 5 out of 5.

“Katrina is, quite simply, brilliant. She is such a good person with dogs as well as being diligent, conscientious and welcoming as a sitter. We could not have asked for more. And our dog, Tilly, had real five-star treatment. Thank you Katrina and family!”

“I cannot recommend Katrina highly enough. I have two rescue dogs and they are not easy, one is extremely nervous of everything. At our meet and greet she was super patient and it’s obvious she has a lot of experience with dogs, and is an animal person. Her home is beautiful and is well set up for dog sitting.”

“I feel very lucky to have found such an amazing person to look after my little and nervous rescued dogs! They just seemed happy as always after being with Katrina and her family for a week. Thank you so much!”
